Discipline and Module Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this module you should be able to:

Module Specific Skills and Knowledge

1 use standard projection techniques to accurately sketch engineering structures and processes

2 use engineering analysis techniques to analyse structures under load

3 understand the fundamental concepts of civil engineering design such as structural efficient and stability

Discipline Specific Skills and Knowledge

4 carry out basic engineering testing procedures safely

5 appreciate the necessity for a sound knowledge of fundamental engineering theory

6 show an awareness of principles of load transmission, load paths and structural stability and incorporate those principles through all stages, from concept to (model) construction

Personal and Key Transferable / Employment Skills and Knowledge

7 exemplify improved ability to work as part of a team, and to assess your own and others’ skills and performances

8 communicate effectively and accurately both orally and in writing, and have the ability to make technical oral presentations

9 work independently, using skills such as time management, monitoring your own progress, setting realistic targets, reflecting on the effectiveness of your learning strategies and modifying your targets and learning strategies appropriately

10 provide constructive feedback to teaching staff

11 carry out research using the Internet and technical literature

Deferral – if you have been deferred for any assessment you will be expected to submit the relevant assessment. The mark given for a re-assessment taken as a result of deferral will not be capped and will be treated as it would be if it were your first attempt at the assessment. 

Referral – if you have failed the module overall (i.e. a final overall module mark of less than 40%) you will be expected to submit the relevant assessment. The mark given for a re-assessment taken as a result of referral will be capped at 40%.
